My day starts early as I have to take care of my dog before going to school. After school I have soccer practice in the fall, play or show choir practice in the winter and spring. Once I get home, I have stalls to clean and ride if my horse is home. I also have 2 lizards and a bird to take care of. Homework fits in there somewhere. On the weekends, I go to ride my horse, if he is at the trainers.
